The  crowded  condition  of  the  business  centres  of  our  rapidly 
growing  cities,  is  taxing  the  ingenuity  of  the  Architect  and  Builder, 
to  provide  convenient  accommodations  for  the  transaction  of  business. 

How  to  build  to  economize  room  and  utilize  space  is  the  momen- 
tous question;  and  yet  there  are  in  the  busiest  centres  of  trade,  acres 
of  unimproved  room,  which  may,  by  proper  adaptation  be  converted 
into  roomy,  well  lighted  and  ventilated  apartments  suitable  for  Stores, 
Factories,  Bank  and  Safe  Deposit  Vaults,  & c. 

We  refer  to  the  space  under  the  side  walks.  Since  the  introduction 
of  the  Patent  Concrete  Illuminating  Tiling  this  invaluable  room  is  being 
rapidly  utilized. 

This  most  important  building  material  far  surpasses  anything  of 
the  kind  heretofore  manufactured,  forming  as  it  does  an  even,  non- 
slippery  surface — free  from  knobs  or  projections  ; it  makes  a strong 
water-tight  illuminating  roof  and  pavement,  easily  kept  clean.  The 
metal  being  covered  with  a non-conducting  material,  the  rooms  which  it 
covers  are  kept  much  warmer  in  winter  and  cooler  in  summer  than  where 
Iron  comes  in  contact  with  atmospheric  changes.  This  is  a very  im- 
portant consideration.

The  illustration  shows  an  Illuminating  area  or  vault  covering 
made  of  the  patent  Concrete  Illuminating  Tiling,  which  being  of  an 
even,  non-slippery  surface,  free  from  knobs  or  projections  offers  a secure 
and  pleasant  footing  ; always  clean,  and  highly  ornamental,  of  great 
durability  and  perfectly  water  tight.  Its  non-conducting  properties  add 
greatly  to  its  value.  One  of  its  many  advantages  is  that  it  requires  no 
painting.  Its  surface  being  made  of  glass  and  hydraulic  cement  ; it 
rather  improves  by  age.  Little  or  no  metal  being  required,  rusting  is 
avoided.  We  make  this  in  2 and  3 inch  glass,  and  in  any  color, — close 
imitations  of  blue  and  brown  stone  being  effected.

Albany,  January  23d,  1883. 

Hon.  E.  O.  PERRIN, 

Dear  Sir  : 

Having  tested  the  advantages  of  the  “Improved 
Concrete  Illuminating  Tiling,”  for  Floors,  Sky  Lights,  etc.,  it  is  with 
pleasure  I recommend  it  for  economy,  beauty  of  appearance,  and  general 
utility,  as  superior  to  the  “Bulls-Eye,”  and  all  others  I have  ever  used. 

Some  years  ago  the  inventor  put  into  the  Capitol  his  “ Improved 
Tile,”  which  gave  such  satisfaction  that  we  have  used  no  other  kind  of 
Tiling  since. 

1 have  more  recently  procured  more  of  the  same  Light  for  the 
Capitol  Pmilding,  and  it  has  given  entire  satisfaction  for  all  purposes.  I 
am  satisfied  all  persons  using  the  Improved  Light  will  find  it  a great  im- 
provement upon  the  old  style  of  Illuminating  Tile. 

Respectfully  yours, 

JAMES  W.  EATON,  Supt. 


New  York,  January  24th,  1883. 

A year  since  I called  for  the  “ Detachable  Ring  Concrete  Light' 
for  the  area  of  the  “ Liverpool,  London  & Globe  Building,”  at  Pine  and 
William  Streets,  in  this  city,  and  have  thoroughly  tested  the  same,  with 
the  most  satisfactory  results.  I can  heartily  recommend  the  Light  to  the 
building  public  as  being  a handsome,  durable  and  satisfactory  Concrete 
Tile  Light  for  areas,  vaults,  floors,  sky  lights,  etc.

The  above  relates  to  an  improvement  in  Illuminating  Tiles  for  Cover- 
ing Vaults,  etc.  Letters  patent  No.  211,297,  issued  Jan.  14th,  1879.

Illuminating  Tiles  for  Coyoring  V an  ltd,  to. 

No.  211.297.  Patonted  Jan.  14.  1879. 


This  invention  is  especially  applicable  to  extension  areas,  which  re- 
quire several  sections  of  Illuminating  Tile  to  cover  them. 

In  constructing  and  applying  tiles  to  extension  areas,  the  usual  plan 
has  been  to  fit  into  the  stone  coping  a cast-iron  frame,  with  cross-bars  at 
suitable  intervals,  and  then  illuminating  tiles  or  plates  (cast  separately 
from  said  frame)  have  been  bolted  or  screwed  down  upon  the  cross  bars. 
The  improvements  effected  are  : — 

First. — Each  section  of  the  illuminating  tile  is  cast  with  a support- 
ing rib,  or  cross  bar,  having  an  offset  or  shoulder  to  receive  and  support 
the  adjacent  section,  all  in  one  piece,  adapted  to  fit  directly  into  the  cop- 
ing without  a surrounding  frame,  thus  obviating  the  necessity  of  any  such 
frame  as  has  heretofore  been  used. 

Second. — Making  the  supporting  rib,  or  cross-bar,  of  each  section 
so  shallow  that  it  will  not  obstruct  the  oblique  rays  of  light  passing 
through  the  glasses,  and  re-enforcing  it  by  a tension  truss. 


10  THE  CONCRETE  ILLUMINATING  TILE. 


When  the  strengthening  rib  d is  cast  with  a solid  metal  web  on  its 
lower  side — as  shown  in  figs.  3,  4,  7 and  8 — said  web  will  in  some  de- 
gree, obstruct  the  light.  This  is  prevented  by  casting  the  rib  shallow, 
and  adding  a truss  consisting  of  a tension  rod,  g,  connecting  two  lugs, 
h h,  cast  upon  the  rib  and  braced  outward  by  a strut,  /,  at  its  center,  as 
shown  in  figs.  5 and  6. 

In  the  engraving,  fig.  1 is  a plan  view  of  an  area  cover  consisting 
of  three  sections  of  tile,  fitted  into  a stone  coping. 

Fig.  2 represents  a vertical  cross-section  of  fig.  1,  on  the  irregular 
line  a;  x. 

Fig.  3 is  a perspective  view  of  one  of  the  sectional  tiles. 

Fig.  4 is  a side  view  of  the  same,  showing  one  end  fitted  into  the 
stone  coping,  and  the  other  end  resting  upon  an  angle-iron  attached  to 
the  wall  of  the  building. 

Fig.  5 is  a side  sectional  view  of  a series  of  risers  and  steps,  com- 
posed of  illuminating  tiles,  on  linejvy,  in  fig.  6. 

Fig.  6 is  a rear  view  of  fig.  5. 

Fig.  7 is  a side  view  of  one  sectional  tile,  supported  upon  angle 
irons,  attached  to  the  coping  as  well  as  to  the  wall. 

Fig.  8 shows  another  way  of  supporting  the  tile  upon  the  coping 
when  the  latter  is  too  thin  to  bear  rabbeting,  as  shown  in  figs.  4 and  5. 

When  the  tile  is  unusually  long,  two  or  more  additional  struts  are 
placed  intermediately  between  the  center  strut,  /,  and  the  lugs,  h h, 
shown  in  fig.  6.  The  tension  rod  is  adjustable  to  any  desired  degree  of 
tautness  by  means  of  screws  and  nuts,  as  shown  at  h h in  fig  6. 

In  the  engravings,  the  illuminating  tiles  are  represented  as  consisting 
of  a cast-iron  plate,  in  dish  form,  having  perforations  in  it,  covered  by 
glass  bull’s  eyes,  and  the  spaces  around  and  between  the  glass  filled 
with  an  improved,  cement. 

The  second  invention  relates  to  an  Improvement  in  Illuminating 
Vaults  and  Area  Covers.  Letters  Patent  No.  222,871,  issued  Dec.  23, 
*879- 

This  improvement  is  specially  designed  for  illuminating  tiles  that  cover 
vaults  and  cellar  areas,  in  which  the  glass  bull’s-eye  or  lenses  are  set  in 
a dish-shaped  cast  iron  perforated  plate,  over  the  perforations,  and  se- 
cured in  place  by  cement  or  composition,  filled  into  the  dish-formed 
plate  so  as  to  come  flush  with  the  upper  surfaces  of  the  glass  lenses. 
It  consists  first,  of  an  improved  water-tight  joint  between  the  sectional 
plates  or  tiles  forming  the  vault  or  area  cover  ; second,  in  strengthen- 
ing the  dish-shaped  plate  by  means  of  a series  of  ribs,  cast  integrally 
therewith  on  the  upper  side  thereof,  running  longitudinally  and  laterally 
so  as  to  form  a separate  cell  for  each  glass  lens.  Longitudinal  ribs 
a a'  a s,  figs.  1,  2 and  3 in  cut  below,  running  between  the  rows  of  illu- 
minating apertures,  and  short  cross-ribs,  b,  extending  from  one  longitu- 
dinal rib  to  the  next,  between  each  pair  of  apertures.

ROOFandSKY  LIGHTS. 


The  above  cut  shows  our  system  of  making  tight  the  joints  of  an 
Illuminating  Roof.  The  great  difficulty  experienced  in  making  the 
joints  of  a roof  water-tight  is  overcome  by  the  use  of  this  simple  device. 
We  can  now  offer,  with  the  greatest  confidence,  a roof  of  no  matter 
how  large  a size. 


The  Concrete  Illuminating  Tiling  is,  without  question,  the  best 
material  yet  introduced  for  roof  and  sky  lights.  The  Concrete  covering 
the  iron  prevents  condensation  and  renders  the  structure  nearly  fire- 
proof ; and  as  we  use  the  patent  hood  to  cover  the  joints,  an  absolutely 
water-proof  roof  is  secured.  The  amount  of  this  style  of  work  that  has 
been  used  since  its  introduction  is  convincing  proof  of  its  superiority.

New  Patent  Ring  Concrete  Tile. 

Patented  Aug.  30th,  18S7. 

Fig.  1.  — Face  view  of  the  Tile  with  lenses  and  concrete  Inserted,  complete. 


This  Tile  has  25  lenses,  2 Inches  diameter,  to  each  square  foot. 


Fig.  2. — Cross  section  view  of  the  Tile  complete. 


A— Light  openings.  A'— Annular  curbs.  A 3— Lens  bearings.  C— Lenses.  D— Cement  between  lenses 

and  annular  curbs  or  rings. 

The  above  illustrations  represent  the  J.  W.  Mark  New  Patent  Ring  Concrete  Tii.e, 
which,  after  considerable  experimenting,  we  present  to  the  public  in  its  most  perfect  form. 

The  object  of  this  improvement  is  to  so  construct  an  illuminating  tile  as  to  secure 
a maximum  amount  of  lens  area  without  impairing  the  strength  of  the  structure,  and  this 
is  secured  by  constructing  an  illuminating  tile  which  is  provided  with  round  light  open- 
ings that  are  eacli  surrounded  by  an  annular  curb,  which  intersects  and  forms  part  of 
each  of  the  adjacent  curbs  (the  intersecting  points  having  only  the  thickness  of  a single 
curb),  whereby  the  space  between  the  light  openings  is  minimized,  thus  bringing  the 
lenses  closer  to  each  other  and  thereby  increasing  the  light  surface  2o  per  cent,  above  the 


older  style  of  concrete  tiling.  Considering  the  valuable  ground  space  covered  by  Vault 
Lights  this  is  an  important  item  to  owners,  architects  and  builders.  The  annular  curbs 
having  their  intersecting  points  cast  as  one  curb,  and  rising  the  full  height  of  the  glass; 
this  tile  is  virtually  a combined  series  of  cast  tee  iron  around  each  lens,  and  the  strength 
of  the  plate  is  thus  increased , scientific  principles  proving  tee  iron  stronger  than  flat  or 
bar  iron. 

The  annular  curbs  being  the  full  height  of  the  glass  (at  the  same  time  showing  very 
little  iron)  form  separate  spaces  for  the  glass  and  concrete,  cutting  and  dividing  the  con- 
crete surface  to  such  an  extent  that  the  breaking;  and  cracking  of  the  same — common  to 
other  concrete  tiles— becomes  au  impossibility;  and  by  inserting  the  lenses  in  separate 
compartments  (using  hydraulic  or  brimstone  cement)  the  slivering  of  the  glass,  which  is 
due  to  the  possible  contraction  and  expansion  of  a tile  with  a concrete  surface  and  an 
iron  plate  underneath,  is  entirely  overcome.  Should,  however,  a glass  become  broken  by 
a blow,  or  by  some  other  cause,  it  cau  easily  and  readily  be  removed  and  replaced  with-! 
out  disturbing  any  portion  of  the  surrounding  concrete  or  glass  surface.  And  further- 
more, should  every  glass  in  the  tiling  covering  an  area  be  removed  the  concrete  surface 
would  still  remain,  90  that  \yith  or  without  lenses,  this  tile  presents  a comfortable  walk- 
ing surface. 

In  all,  it  is  a water-tight  tile  with  a surface  of  iron,  glass  and  concrete,  free  from  any 
projections, -presenting  a smooth,  comfortable  and  non-slippery  walking  surface,  and, 
requires  no  painting,  at  the  same  time  presenting  a more  beautiful  appearance  than  any 
other  tile  manufactured;  and  when  used  in  vestibules,  court-yards  or  floors,  we  can  insert 
in  the  concrete  spaces  fancy  colored  tiling  which  will  make  a platform  that  can  certainly! 
be  termed  an  ornament  to  compete  with  the  finest  flooring  designs  invented,  with  the1 
additional  benefit  of  giving  light  to  apartments  underneath.

24  THE  CONCRETE  ILLUMINATING  TILE. 


A— The  Iron  Tile.  B— Tne  Glass  tens.  C— The  tend  Band.  D—  The  Portland  Cement. 


This  Light  entirely  overcomes  the  breakage  of  glass  and  cement, 
common  to  other  Portland  cement  tiles.  By  placing  a band  of  lead 
around  the  glass  lenses  the  cement  is  prevented  from  immediate  contact 
with  the  glasses,  thus  overcoming  all  the  usual  breakage  due  to  the  con- 
tact of  heated  glass  and  cold  cement,  and  also  allowing  for  possible  con- 
traction and  expansion. 


Enajkeled  Crystal  Floor  Light 

PAT.  APRIL  12  1861 


See  next  Page. 


Patented  April  12,  1881. 


This  valuable  invention  permits  the  use  of  large  plates  of  glass  for 
Illuminating  purposes,  without  lessening  the  safety  of  the  same  from 
slipping,  the  top  of  the  glass  being  recessed  to  receive 

COLORED  CEMENTS, 

ENCAUSTIC  TILES, 

METALS, 

or  other  suitable  substances,  which  render  the  surface  positively  non- 
slippery,  and  at  the  same  time 


The  accompanying  cut  but  faintly  represents  the  beauty  of  this  light, 
which  surpasses  the  elegance  of  the  ordinary  encaustic  tiling,  and  at  the 
same  time  gives  greater  amount  of  Illuminating  surface  to  the  square  foot 
than  any  other  light  in  the  market. 


FOR  FLOOR  LIGHTS,  VESTIBULES,  PLATFORMS,  STOOPS  OF  PRIVATE 
RESIDENCES,  BULKHEADS,  SIDE  WALLS,  WAINSCOTING, 
PARTITION  WALLS,  ETC., 


FAR  SUPERIOR  to  the  Encaustic  Tile.

SIDE  LIGHTS  FOR 


The  above  represents  a glass  io  inches  square,  which  unlike  other 
large  plates,  presents  a positively  sure  foothold,  by  reason  of  the  walking 
surface  being  seamed  with  concrete  or  other  non-slippery  substance. 

They  present  a very  ornamental  appearance,  which  can  be  heightened 
by  the  introduction  of  vari-colored  cements,  and  by  the  production  of 
different  designs  upon  the  faces  of  the  glasses. 

This  light  is  already  in  some  of  the  largest  buildings  in  this  city,  and 
can  be  seen  at  our  office. 


26  THE  CONCRETE  ILLUMINATING  TILE. 

WROUGHT  IRON 

Jllunpatiiig  poor  § Roofing  plate. 

PATENTED  MARCH  30,  1880. 


For  Doors  to  cover  Sidewalks,  Elevators,  Area  Steps  and  Hatch- 
ways ; for  Fire  and  Burglar  Proof  Illuminating  Window  Shutters;  the 
lightest  illuminating  roof,  with  the  least  weight  of  any  ever  made.  For 
the  same  reason  unexcelled  as  a skylight  for  rear  extensions. 

These  Doors  weigh  about  one-third  as  much  as  ordinary  cast  iron 
illuminating  doors  and,  unlike  the  last  named  article,  cannot  be  broken 
by  the  roughest  usage.  Can  be  easily  raised  and  lowered,  with  but 
little  labor. 

They  will  last  as  long  as  the  building  to  which  they  are  attached  ; are 
heavily  galvanized  and  cannot  corrode. 

Glasses  of  the  same  thickness  as  those  inserted  in  cast-iron  doors; 
and  easily  replaced  at  a very  slight  cost. 

These  Doors  can  be  seen  in  actual  use  at 

The  Equitable  Life  Building,  120  Broadway, 

The  Liverpool,  London  & Globe  Building,  cor.  William  & Pine  Sts. 

The  Meriden  Silver  Plate  Co.,  30  East  14th  Street, 

and  through  the  entire  business  portion  of  14th  and  23d  Streets. 

Also  at  our  Works,  and  at  many  other  places  in  New  York  City 
and  elsewhere. 

This  is  the  only  Patent  Wrought  Iron  Illuminated  Door  in  the 
market.  All  others  are  base  imitations,  being  made  of  cast  and  wrought 
iron  combined,  and  in  their  construction  lacking  durability,  finish  and 
lightness,  which  are  the  distinguishing  characteristics  of  the  Wrought 
Iron  Illuminating  Door.

The  character  and  variety  of  the  buildings  embraced  in  the  above  list, —

the  most  emphatic  character. 


28  THE  CONCRETE  ILLUMINATING  TILE. 


WATER-TIGHT 


A the  iron  tile,  B the  lens.  C the  cement.  D the  inner  flange.  E the  outer  ring. 

PATENTED  FEBRUARY  20,  1S83. 

This  Light  is  ABSOLUTELY  WATER-  TIGH  1 as  soon  as  the 
lens  is  set  in  position  and  before  any  cement  is  used. 

Each  lens  is  provided  with  a lip  which  sets  over  the  inner  flange  D, 
which  surrounds  the  light  opening  ; the  lenses  being  secured  in  position 
by  any  adhesive  Cement  applied  outside  the  lens  and  within  the  outer 
wall,  E. 

The  outer  wall,  being  on  a lower  plane  than  the  inner  flange  regu- 
lates the  flow  of  water,  and  carries  the  same  away  before  it  rises  to  the 
level  of  inner  flange. 

The  above  is  especially  adapted  for  sky-lights.

PATENT  LENSES. 


PATENTED  AUG.  22,  1882. 
PATENTED  MARCH  4,  1884. 


As  shown  in  illustration,  Figures  i and  2,  these  lenses  have  bi- 
convex and  concave  surfaces  in  a diagonal  position  with  relation  to  the 
axis  of  the  lenses,  whereby  they  are  enabled  to  refract  and  reflect.  The 
opposite  cut  illustrates  the  effect  of  the  use  of  these  lenses,  and  gives  a 
very  clear  idea  of  the  direction  given  to  the  rays  of  light  passing  through 
them. 

Their  advantage  above  those  generally  in  use  is  very  apparent.— 
They  economize  space  with  a greatly  improved  light,  and  as  they  dis- 
distribute  the  light  horizontally  and  diagonally  throughout  the  apartment, 
permit  in  many  cases  the  use  of  room  which  otherwise  would  be  useless; 
and  where  land  is  so  expensive,  this  is  a desideratum  especially  looked 
for  by  architects  and  owners. 

The  pendents  of  our  Patent  Lenses  being  perpendicular,  with  a 
diagonal  surface,  and  setting  at  right  angles  with  the  plate,  are  free  from 
this  great  gathering  of  dirt,  and  are  easily  cleaned.

THE 


Patented  September  26,  1SS2. 


The  above  cut  represents  a section  of  Tile  Webbing,  which  is  so 
constructed  as  to  give  extra  strength,  and  at  the  same  time,  the  greatest 
amount  of  illuminating  surface  to  the  square  foot. 

When  this  Tile  is  filled  with  glasses  and  concrete,  the  hexagon  shape 
of  the  lens-openings  aids  materially  to  render  the  light  ornamental. 

Can  be  cast  to  any  size  or  shape.

This  design  represents  a Concrete  Surface  Ventilating  Tile. 

A few  of  these  Tiles,  inserted  into  a Concrete  Illuminating  platform, ' 
will  give  the  amount  of  ventilation  required,  and  at  the  same  time  pre- 
serve the  non-slippery  and  ornamental  qualities,  in  conformity  with  the 
rest  of  the  work.

This  illustration  gives  a back  view  of  our  New  Ventilating  Riser 
and  shows  plainly  the  modus  operandi.  It  is  in  fact  a double  riser, 
one,  the  main  riser,  having  a rabbet  bearing  cast  upon  the  bottom  of  the 
back  to  receive  the  other,  or  acting  riser.  The  acting  riser  is  set  on 
small  rollers  so  that  it  can  be  pulled  easily  to  either  the  one  end  or  the 
other.  In  boch  risers  every  other  hole  in  each  row  is  filled  with  a glass, 
while  the  remaining  holes  are  open,  and  the  acting  riser  is  so  arranged 
that,  by  means  of  a cable  chain  on  each  end  passing  through  a side  pulley,  it 
can  be  pulled  to  the  right  or  to  the  left,  bringing  at  will  the  open  holes 
and  the  glass  of  the  acting  riser  directly  behind  the  glass  and  the  open 
holes,  respectively,  of  the  front  or  main  riser,  thus  shutting  it  and  ad- 
mitting only  illumination  ; or  bringing  the  glass  of  the  acting  riser 
directly  behind  the  glass  of  the  main  riser,  thus  making  the  open  holes 
in  both  sections  meet  and  opening  it,  at  the  same  time  allowing  the 
pure  air  to  enter  and  obtaining  illumination  also. 

The  above  cut  represents  the  riser  when  closed,  while  the  following

foothold  than  any  other  hitherto  employed.  As  these  knobs  are  heavy 
and  do  not  wear  much,  these  covers  are  especially  adapted  to  exposed
